Molly’s craft is finely honed, her designs whimsically literal and pop-culturally on-point.Working from her home studio, Molly began making her living as a full-time studio potter in 2008. Her formal education in ceramics and drawing resulted in the development of her signature style. Making contemporary ceramics inspired by history, Molly’s career as a studio potter quickly garnered a loyal following. Molly’s designs have expanded beyond tableware to a wide range of lifestyle products and Molly is actively growing collections of home goods to bring her modern yet traditional designs to the contemporary home.Molly Hatch will be on view in the 301 Gallery exhibition MashUp: Objects in Dialogue, August 29 - September 24, 2016: www.montserrat.edu/portfolio-item/mashup/ For more on Hatch, visit: mollyhatch.com
